"Love can come to you even if you think you don't want a man"

Eleanor Preston is a graphic artist who likes doing her job and going home alone. So why did she agree to a Girl's night out with the girls from work. Now here she is wearing jeans that she is convinced makes her hips seem bigger, going to a club she doesn't want be at. The last place she needs to go where men gather to pick up women. No thank you, she doesn't need a man right now.

Justin Collins is part owner of the bar. After being dumped by his last girlfriend he has shied away for the dating scene. Besides, his partner Dave seems to having sex with every woman he meets and he's married. His cheating is starting to cause problems in their partnership. Justin is tired of lying to Dave's wife. It's only a matter of time until she catches Dave in the supply closet with someone. One night while working at the bar Justin sees Eleanor waiting for her friends. She is gorgeous, with red hair and the cutest little butt. How could he resist her, he always liked a curvy butt, and hers is perfect.

Eleanor can't believe that such a handsome man would be interested in her. Little by little, the more they see each other, the strong the relationship becomes. They both realize that it is not just the sexual tension that holds all the attraction. When Eleanor finds out that Justin might lose his bar after Dave's wife catches him in the supply closet, Sse decides to help him out. But will Justin accept her help when he finds out who she is?

PARTNERS IN PASSION will have you laughing at the things that Eleanor and Justin go through to find romance. The scenes with E.T. will make you laugh out loud. The sexual scenes are hot, but the romance between these two makes the story. This was a fantastic read; it has a little of everything. This duo writing team can write for me anytime. I would recommend this novel to everyone.

Summary

Eleanor Preston is in control. Of her life, her career, her world. There's no room for anything but the occasional polite date. Or so she thinks. Then Justin Collins sweeps her out onto the dance floor and into the wildest and most sensual adventure of her life. He releases her from her inhibitions, lets her hair down (literally). Lost in their red-hot affair, Eleanor makes an all-too-human mistake. If all they have is based solely on sex, then this relationship may be doomed. But could it be that something more has developed between them? Something that will get them back to where they belong—in each other's arms?

Co-written by Sahara Kelly and S.L. Carpenter, this book takes a unique and humorous look at two lovers, with Sahara writing as Eleanor, and S.L. Carpenter writing as Justin. After all, who is better equipped to reveal a woman's desires than another woman? And who can do justice to the heat of a man's passion any better than another man?
